[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 910916, member: 2522"] Here's a tip on installation. Attach both sides to the underside of the hood. Then, drill just one side on the fender and attach it. With the hood up (one side should hold the hool up just fine), position the other side on the fender and drill it. On my 98, I did not get both sides even, so one side had some slack in it. Hindsight is 50/50. Also of note, on my 98, I used nuts and bolts on the underside of the hood with washers between the nut and the fiberglass. This gave some added strength, but may not have been necessary (so now they recommend rivits). I suspect that the rivits will make it easier, but if you go with nuts and bolts, be sure to have an extendible magnet to retieve the nuts when you drop them inside of the hood reinformcement channel. I got LOTS of practice retrieving dropped nuts on that install. [/QUOTE]
